New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview

I got the Oppo 103 last week and am sending it back for the 105, the analogue output bottom end is weak and not as dynamic as my current DAC. The 105 should be out end of Nov/beginning of Dec according to their Customer Service.

Like the 93, the 103's role is as a digital transport primarily so the analogue outputs/DAC section aren't as robust or as well designed as on the xx5 range.

@Hikmer, how was the 4k output though? Did you have any chance to compare it to the Sony S790's 4k upscaling?

One wonders if the Oppo 103 needs more time to break in before the bass develops properly. I haven't seen where bass is a problem for Oppos, generally speaking.

Oppo started shipping the BDP-105 last week.
Lots of info on AVSForum.

I have the Oppo BDP-103 and have yet to hear a CD on it. As for movies, I had no notion that my speakers could go that low with such authority and precision.

Time will tell if it's not up to snuff, audiophilically (did I just coin that one?) but for now I'm loving my movies.

All the best,
Nonoise
